Sunday reading question for adult fantasy lovers: What's a book that made you believe in heroism again? I'm looking for that perfect balance of literary beauty and genuine hope. #BookTwitter #AdultFantasy #ComfortReads

@BlogSpells Sure. Lord knows I need to get out and meet people. Bonus points because you seem interesting.

@KenobiStig Good to know! Thanks for the tip.

@MelionTraverse Make sure to read them chronologically, not by publication

Have you ever read a book that made you homesick for a place that never existed? #fantasybooks #fantasy #recommendedreading #BookCommunity

@belet_seri How 'bout the dog? Did the dog deserve to die? But seriously? Where are we now that we're inventing moral justifications for the murder of children? That's enough social media for me today.

@jon_cronshaw I'm team "classic" fantasy. Lord of the Rings is one I re-watch whenever I'm stressed. And I reread the book every other year. I enjoyed The Witcher video game, though.

Do you prefer classic fantasy movies like The Lord of the Rings, or newer ones like The Witcher? #fantasyreaders

@bellatrixrod Same! His ability to craft an atmosphere that just mantles itself around the reader was impressive.

Bella Strange@bellatrixrod·31 May

@MelionTraverse Yes, in so many Lovecraftian settings I can easily get lost.

@KenobiStig I actually haven't read any of Feist's books, but it sounds like I should add them to my TBR.

Stig@KenobiStig·30 May

@MelionTraverse Crydee, in Raymond Feist's books.

Getting to live a life without fear of your embarrassing moment becoming the laughingstock of the world. Forget just having your friends laugh at you; now people around the globe can gleefully revel in your most awkward, embarrassing moments.

Have you ever practiced #martialarts? If so, which one(s)? And why'd that one appeal to you?

It's cliche, but high school. They weren't terrible years; they weren't good years. High school simply happened. It was hyped up as this time of "coming-of-age experiences," and it really didn't deliver. College was much more meaningful and formative for me.

What life experience was supposed to be amazing but ended up being a big letdown?

@NatalieKelda Those are beautiful covers!

Want some quick reads in fantastical worlds? Check out my free/pay-as-you-like short stories on itch! Dark sci-fantasy, related to my series but perfectly fine to read on their own.

@NatalieKelda Right? We should just beam our thoughts straight into other people's heads. And then charge them for receiving those thoughts.

English

Natalie Kelda@NatalieKelda·29 May

@MelionTraverse There's been "nobody can read omniscient POV anymore" discourse in the past week as well. We should really just stop writing with words 😂

English

Delusions of Sanity 🐺⚔️@MelionTraverse·29 May

I remember the hate I got for writing in first person (I still role my eyes at the person who said I only wrote in 1st person because I need more life experience). And now we're hating on 3rd person? I can't wait until people find out 2nd person exists.

Timothy Robare, Author@AuthorTRobare

Stop attacking third person. If you like first person, cool. Good for you. Third person has and always will be acceptable.

@Valor53555939 Andrew's looking like Temu Rasputin there.

And yet some niggas would still try to argue on here that they are not rapists

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been charged with rape, human trafficking and bodily harm by British prosecutors.

@SoCal_Chemistry I get this. My grandma's first language was Spanish, and she'd talk with extended family in it. I regret that, while I can ready and write Spanish, I've never become proficient in speaking it. I wish I'd asked her to speak with me in it to help me gain experience and confidence.

English

Eric S. Kim@SoCal_Chemistry·29 May

@MelionTraverse I mean, my family and relatives can speak Korean well (much more than I can), so it would be nice to converse in their native language sometimes.

English

Eric S. Kim@SoCal_Chemistry·29 May

Maybe it's too late for me to learn a different language. 🤷‍♂️

Delusions of Sanity 🐺⚔️@MelionTraverse·29 May

@SoCal_Chemistry Wait...it sounds like you already know a language (or at least mostly know one). Being able to speak Korean is awesome! Brushing up on that might help give you confidence to try other languages.

English

Eric S. Kim@SoCal_Chemistry·29 May

@MelionTraverse Nope. Only English. Also, I can barely speak good Korean (which is ironic, I know). Maybe I should brush up on that one first.

English

Delusions of Sanity 🐺⚔️@MelionTraverse·29 May

@SoCal_Chemistry Do you know other languages already, or will this be your second? For a lot of people (but not everybody), learning languages becomes easier after the second or third. It also helps if you know a related language already.

English

Eric S. Kim@SoCal_Chemistry·29 May

@MelionTraverse Maybe German or Italian.

@belet_seri In fairness, the post he's replying to sounds like a woman who is suffering from post partum depression. The weight gain is probably not what the husband should be worried about.
